Features of the Scanner
The main features of the DR-M1060 document scanner are described
below.
Highly Efficient Scanning with A3 Compatibility
The front-side input/output U-turn path design allows smooth
feeding and output of documents. The scanner supports a variety of
document sizes, handling documents that are up to A3 in size.
Fast Document Feeding
A4 documents can be scanned at a speed of up to 60 pages per
minute in any scanning mode, including black and white, grayscale,
and color.
* Scanning conditions: A4 horizontal, duplex, 200 dpi
Two Eject Paths for Scanning a Variety of Documents
Use the space saving U-turn path to scan paper of standard
thickness, or use the straight path to scan cards and other thick
documents.
High Image Quality
The 600 dpi optical resolution sensor incorporated in the scanner
enables documents to be scanned with high image quality.
USB 2.0 Interface
The scanner supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
Color/Grayscale Support
Documents can be scanned in 24-bit color or 256-level grayscale.
Supports a Variety of Scanning Modes
The scanner supports the following scanning modes, depending on
the document type:
Single-sided or double-sided scanning (with Skip Blank Page
function)
Continuous or single sheet feed
Card Scan
You can scan business or ID cards.
Paper Size Detection
The scanner automatically detects the size of a scanned document
and eliminates any unnecessary space around the edges of the
image when storing the image, even when storing a document of
irregular size.
Auto Color Detection
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,
grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.
17
Auto Resolution Detection
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch or scanner driver settings,
this function detects the content of documents and determines the
scanning resolution automatically.
Folio Scan
You can scan folded documents. The scanner will scan both sides
and combine the scanned images into a single image.
By using this function in conjunction with Long Document mode,
you can scan documents up to the A1 size.
Deskew
The scanner is equipped with a deskew function that straightens
images before saving them when documents are scanned askew.
The scanned images are straightened, as opposed to the actual
document sheets.
Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection
Ultrasonic waves are used to detect pages that are fed at the same
time, and scanning stops if a double feed is detected.
Double Feed Detection Ignore
When a double feed is detected, the DFR button on the operation
panel is lit. You can continue scanning by pressing the DFR button.
Text Enhancement Modes
The scanner is equipped with an Advanced Text Enhancement
Mode to enhance the text of documents with dark or uneven
backgrounds, and an Advanced Text Enhancement II mode to
enhance the text when both the text and background are light.
These modes may not work, depending on the type of document.
Color Drop-out
The scanner is equipped with a Color Drop-out function that
enables you to specify a color for the scanner to omit from the
scanned image during black and white or grayscale scanning.
Skip Blank Page Function
The scanner is equipped with a Skip Blank Page function that
enables you to scan a document without storing images of blank
pages, regardless of whether each page of the document is two-
sided or one-sided. Both sides are scanned, but saving the image
is skipped for scan images judged to be from a blank page.
 Prescan Function
The scanner is equipped with a Prescan function that allows you to
adjust the contrast and brightness of a prescanned image and then
send the adjusted image to the application software, without
needing to scan the document again.
Character/Line Emphasis Function
If characters and lines in scanned images are not clearly visible, you
can use this function to adjust their thickness during scanning.
Skew Detection Function
The scanner automatically stops operation when documents are
fed at an excessive slant to prevent damage to documents.
Staple Detection
When documents that are stapled together are detected, the
scanner automatically stops the scanning operation.
Feed Error Detection
When a feed error is detected, the scanner automatically stops the
scanning operation.
Start Scanning from the Operating Panel
You can start scanning by launching CaptureOnTouch with the
operating panel buttons. By default, Job No.1 is assigned to Scan
First, which allows you to easily scan a document by just following
the instructions on the screen.
Auto Start
The scanner is equipped with an auto start function, which enables
scanning to be automatically started when a document placed in the
feeder is detected.
Sleep Mode
The scanner is designed to save energy by automatically entering
the sleep mode if 10 minutes elapse without scanning or another
operation being performed.

Hint
Some functions may not be available depending on the software you
are using.

before scanning it.
Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material
may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to
smudges on the scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent
documents. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner after
scanning such documents.
When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper,

Placing Documents
1 Switch the feed method based on the type of document
you are scanning.
When scanning plain paper or business cards, set the feed
selection lever to the standard feeding position (lower position).
The pages of a multi-page document will be separated and fed
one page at a time.
When scanning bound or fastened paper (e.g., invoices), set the
feed selection lever to the non separation feeding position (upper
position). As documents are scanned without page separation,
place the documents one page at a time (one set in the case of
bound or fastened paper).
For details on the feed methods for each document type, see
p. 24.
3 Switch the eject method based on the type of document
you are scanning.
Ordinarily, you should scan with the straight path tray at the rear
of the scanner closed (U-turn path).
When scanning business cards, plastic cards, or other documents
you do not want to bend, open the straight path tray (straight
path).
For details on the eject methods for each document type, see
p. 24.

IMPORTANT
When placing documents into the feed tray, take care not to cut
your hand on the edges of the paper.
Make sure that the document does not exceed the loading limit
marks ( ) on the document guides. Up to 60 pages of ordinary
plain paper (80 g/m2) can be loaded at the same time.
Before you place a document, check to make sure it does not
contain paper clips, staples, or other small metal objects. These
items may cause a fire or electrical shock, damage the document,
or cause a paper jam or scanner malfunction.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the
scanner while you are using it, as this may result in personal injury.
Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything gets caught in
the scanner, immediately turn OFF the power switch, and
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet to stop scanning.
Always smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before
placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is
curled, it may cause a paper jam.
If feeding stops due to a system error or paper jam while the
scanner is scanning, resolve the problem, make sure that the
scanned image of the last page that was successfully fed has been
stored, and then resume scanning the remaining document pages.

When using the straight path, documents will be ejected from the
rear of the scanner. Do not place any obstructions near the
document eject outlet. To ensure that the documents are ejected
smoothly, make sure that the scanner is placed on a smooth, flat
surface.

CAUTION
Use the straight path when scanning cards.
Embossed or laminated cards may not be scanned correctly,
depending on the card.
Ultrasonic double feed detection will not function properly when
scanning cards. Clear the [Detect by Ultrasonic] check box in the
[Feeding] tab.

2 Open the document feed tray.

27
3 Fold the document in half.
Crease the document firmly down its center to fold the document
in half. Fold the document so that its edges are neatly aligned. If
the document is not folded properly, paper jams may occur or
distortions may appear in the combined scanned image.
IMPORTANT
A portion of the scanned image will be missing at the fold line.
4 Place the document with the folded edge facing right.
After placing the document, align the document guides with both
edges of the document.
Front Back
IMPORTANT
Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document.
Otherwise, the image may scan as skewed or shifted.
28
Hint
The front side of the folded document will appear on the left side of
the combined image.
The maximum size for the combined image is A1. When scanning a
folded document of a size other than the standard formats, set
[Page Size] on the scanner driver settings screen to [Match original
size]. (See p. 42)
Setting the Long Document Mode
The length of documents that can be scanned with the scanner is
normally 432 mm (17"), but you can scan documents up to 3,000 mm
(118.1") long by setting the scanner to the Long Document mode.
IMPORTANT
By selecting the Long Document mode and setting the [Paper Size]
in the scanner driver settings screen to auto-detection, documents of
up to 3,000 mm (118.1") (2,700 mm (106.3") with 600 dpi) in length
can be scanned. Note the following when using the Long Document
mode:
When scanning in the Long Document mode, if the document is
placed on the scanner in a skewed position, it may hit the edges of
the feeding area and be damaged. Be careful to place the
document so that it is not skewed.
When scanning with the Long Document mode, paper jam
detection may react slowly, resulting in damage to the document.
Be careful to avoid paper jams.
When scanning long documents, make sure to set the feed
selection lever to non separation feeding mode, and scan the
documents one page at a time.
When scanning large-sized documents with the Long Document
mode, scanning may be slower. Errors also occur due to memory
shortage, and scanning may be disabled.
Be careful when scanning paper that is longer than A3 or letter
(LTR) size or thin paper, as the documents may fall off of the eject
tray after scanning.

 Troubleshooting

Common Problems and Solutions

This section provides recommended solutions to common problems.
If you have a problem that is not solved by the following, contact your
local authorized Canon dealer.
Problem 1 The scanner will not turn on.
Solutions Confirm that the AC adapter is plugged firmly into a
power outlet.
Problem 2 The scanner is not recognized.
Solutions (1) Confirm that the scanner is properly connected to
the computer with a USB cable.
(2) Confirm that the scanner is turned on. See the
previous problem (1) if the scanner does not turn
on.
(3) The computers USB interface may not support the
scanner. The scanner cannot be guaranteed to
work with all USB interfaces.
(4) Confirm that the supplied USB cable is used to
connect the scanner to the computer. The scanner
cannot be guaranteed to work with all available
USB cables.
(5) If the scanner is connected to the computer via a
USB hub, try removing the hub and connecting
directly to the computer.
Problem 3 Documents feed askew (scanned images are
slanted).
Solutions (1) Align the document guides to fit the documents as
closely as possible, and load the documents so that
they feed straightly.
(2) Enable [Skew Detection] in the scanner driver
settings.
(3) If many pages have been scanned since roller
cleaning, clean the rollers. If documents still feed
askew, roller replacement or other maintenance
may be needed. See Chapter 7 Maintenance for
roller replacement procedures.
Problem 4 Both sides are not scanned even when the Duplex
scanner driver setting is enabled.
Solutions In CaptureOnTouch and CapturePerfect, executing a
job for which single-sided (simplex) scanning is
registered will always result in simplex scanning,
regardless of scanner driver settings.
To perform duplex scanning, either change the job
setting or create another job for duplex scanning.
Problem 5 If white lines or streaks appear in scanned images.
Solutions Clean both sides of the scanner glass, and the rollers.
If a sticky substance such as glue or correction fluid is
found, carefully wipe with just enough pressure to clean
the area where the lines appear. If the problem cannot
be solved by cleaning, the internal glass may be
scratched. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
Problem 6 Pages are missing.
Solutions When the scanner drivers [Scanning Side] setting is
[Skip Blank Page], documents with very little black may
be unintentionally skipped. Click the [Setting] button
and decrease the [Set the likelihood of skipping blank
page] value, or select another scan mode setting such
as [Simplex] or [Duplex]. If pages are skipped due to
the document double feeding, see Problem 7
Documents jam (or double-feed).
Problem 7 Documents jam (or double-feed).
Solutions (1) If the roller has been installed correctly, clean it if
necessary.
(2) Proper scanning may not be possible when
document pages stick together due to static
electricity. Fan the documents before you load
them.
(3) Set the scanner to Non separation feeding mode,
and manually feed the scanner one page at a time.

76
Problem 8 Scanned images are saved in TIFF instead of JPEG
format.
Solutions When documents are scanned with CapturePerfect
while [Color Mode] is set to [Detect automatically] in the
scanner driver, documents detected as black and white
are automatically saved in TIFF format, even if the file
type is specified as JPEG format. This occurs because
JPEG format does not support black and white binary
format images. If you want to save all images in JPEG
format, change the scanning [Color Mode] to either [24-
bit Color] or [256-level Gray].
Problem 9 Each scanned image of a multi-page document is
saved as a separate document.
Solutions With CaptureOnTouch, you can scan multiple pages
into one image file when TIFF or PDF file format is
selected. To do this, select [File type], click the
button, and select [Save all pages as one file] in the
displayed dialog box.
When you select [Scan Batch to File] from the [Scan]
menu in CapturePerfect, a dialog box appears with a
[Multi Page Settings] pull-down that allows you to
select [Single Page]. If you select [Single Page] here,
each page of a multi-page document is saved as a
separate image file. To save multiple pages to a
single image file, select [Multi Page (All Pages)].
Problem 10 All of the placed documents have been scanned,
but the scanned image does not appear on the
application.
Solutions When [Panel-Feeding] or [Automatic Feeding] is
selected as the feeding method on the scanner drivers
setting screen, a scanning operation will not continue
after all of the documents are fed, as the scanner
awaits additional documents to be fed. You can finish
the operation and send the scanned images to the
application by pressing the Stop button on the
operating panel.
77
Problem 11 Scanned images of multiple pages cannot be saved
in a single JPEG or BMP file.
Solutions Multiple scanned images cannot be saved in a single
JPEG or BMP file. Save the images in either multi-page
TIFF or PDF format.
Problem 12 Memory becomes insufficient and scanning stops.
Solutions If you configure scanning conditions that use a large
amount of the computers memory, scanning may stop
because of insufficient memory. Although this depends
on the computers memory size, the possibility of
insufficient memory increases if any of the following
scanning conditions overlap.
[Color Mode] is set to [24-bit Color]
A large page size (e.g. A3) is specified as the [Page
Size]. Alternatively, the page size is set to [Scanners
Maximum].
A high resolution (600dpi etc.) is specified for [Dots
per inch].
If an error message appears due to insufficient memory
while scanning is in progress, exit the application,
change the scanning conditions (e.g. reduce the
resolution or page size) and then try scanning again. In
addition, the amount of memory used can be contained
by turning off [Moire Reduction] and [Prevent Bleed
Through / Remove Background] if they are set to on.
Problem 13 The CapturePerfect and CaptureOntouch plug-ins
and Captiva Cloud do not function.
Solutions Install .NET Framework if it is not already installed.
If you are using Windows Server 2008 R2 / Windows
Server 2012 R2, verify that Microsoft .NET
Framework is enabled. If .NET Framework is disabled
on the operating system, the above applications will
not function.
Software Troubleshooting
This section describes troubleshooting problems and solutions for
operating the supplied software (CaptureOnTouch and
CapturePerfect).
If scanning is too slow
(1) Close other running programs, if any.
(2) Scanning can be slowed down by memory shortage caused by
memory-resident applications such as anti-virus programs. Close
such memory-resident programs if necessary to free up memory
space.
(3) When insufficient hard disk space is available, the scanner may
be unable to create the necessary temporary files for scanned
data. Delete unneeded data on the hard disk to free up more
space.
(4) Scanning is slow if the computers USB port is not Hi-Speed USB
2.0 compliant.
(5) If using a common USB cable that is not Hi-Speed USB 2.0
compliant, replace the cable with the supplied compliant cable.
(6) When the scanner is connected to the computer via a USB hub
that is not Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compliant, remove the hub and
connect the scanner directly to the computer.
If scanned image files cannot be opened in an application
(1) Scanned images saved as multi-page TIFF files can be opened
only by programs that support this file format.
(2) Images saved as compressed TIFF files (single- as well as multi-
page) can only be opened by programs that support the
compressed format. This can occur with programs that are not
compatible with CaptureOnTouch or CapturePerfect. In this case,
select None as the image file compression format before
scanning.
